Ironhide had been released from the hospital and was on his way to check up on his sparklings. He heard laughter from inside and smiled. He walked in and his smile grew. The triplets were playing with Megatron, the twins clapping at their actions.

"I gowt you now Mewatron," said Skylar.

"Oh no. I've been struck down," said Megatron.

He felt down with a hand on his chest. Skylar jumped up on his chest and laughed. Her siblings held down his arms.

"I'm dying. Is that a light I see? Could this be the end of the fearsome Megatron?" Megatron asked.

"I win. I kwill Mewatron," said Skylar.

"Nope. Now I get to tickle you," said Megatron. He got up and gathered all three in his arms and began to tickle them. "Arr... I've got you now."

"Having fun?" Ironhide asked.

Megatron turned his helm and smiled, nodding once. Ironhide came over and gathered his children into his arms.

"Did you behave for Optimus and Megatron?" asked Ironhide.

"Yes swire," said Ironfrost. "We played games."

"Good. Now your carrier is working late tonight and I have work soon with Optimus. I want you to behave until we come to get you," said Ironhide.

"Ota daddy," said Skylar.

"Good. Megatron, I'll tell you when to bring them home. Grimlock and the other dinobots will watch them," said Ironhide.

"Will do 'daddy'," Megatron teased.

"You're lucky you're bonded to Orion," said Ironhide.

"We haven't gotten anything from him yet. He ain't talking for a while," said Ironhide.

"He'll take soon. I can get Soundwave to look into his processor, but only after he delivers. It could be dangerous for him," said Optimus. "Until then, keep high security on him and see if he'll talk in a few days."

"I will Orion," said Ironhide.

Optimus walked out of the jail and walked into a shop. He planned on getting his family something each for the celebration of the war ending. He picked up a few treats and toys to give out. It was going to be a rough celebration if the terrorists decide to attack. He made a plan to keep his family safe for when they did. The humans will be arriving in soon for the celebration. Miko and Jack had gotten together and were planning on a wedding on Cybertron. Optimus thought that it was a great idea and agreed.

He walked the rest of the way home. He opened the door to find Megatron watching a human movie with his siblings cuddled into his side. Optimus put the gifts away in his room and sat next to his mate and put Ironfrost in his lap.

"Ironhide contacted me not that long ago to bring them home. I told him I was going to wait for you to get home to watch the twins," said Megatron.

"Go. I shall feed them and get them to berth. It is getting late," said Optimus.

"Bwe bwe wig wrother," the triplets said.

"Goodbye little ones. I shall see you for the End of War party," said Optimus.

Megatron gathered them up and left outside. The mech transformed around them and flew off. Kup was outside gardening and explaining things to Swoop, who helped him. The dinobot saw his siblings arrive and greeted them.

"I hope I didn't tire them out too much. They still want to hear a story," said Megatron.

"I'll tell them a story before they go to sleep," said Kup. "You can go. I'll help the dinobots take care of them."

"Thank you," said Megatron. "Goodnight. We shall see you at the celebration."

Megatron transformed and decided to check up on Ironhide. What he saw was not good when he went to the weapon specialist's office.

~~~earlier

Ironhide was the only one in the station now. He worked on some reports that needed to get done before he headed home. He contacted Megatron not too long ago to bring them home. Ratchet would be on his way there by now. Ironhide checked the time. It was almost midnight. He still worked on the reports. His door opened and closed. The black mech looked around and spotted a figure standing in a shadowed corner.

"Sorry we're not available right now," said Ironhide. "Come back in the morning."

"Seeker lover," the mech hissed and lunged.

Ironhide did have anytime to react before his helm hit the wall behind him hard. The attacking mech dug in razor sharp claws into Ironhide's chest, ripping out wires, cabling, tubes, and fuses. Ironhide tried to punch the mech off of him, but he couldn't see straight. Everything seemed blurred. He felt himself drop to the floor. The mech who attacked him whispered in his audio.

"Nothing can stop us. All seekers will be destroyed," the mech muttered before leaving.

Ironhide tried to hit the emergency button, but couldn't reach it. He collapsed onto his front, not even noticing his office was a complete mess. He heard the door open again and tried to call out for help, but his voice box glitched. He felt someone gently lift him to lean him against the wall. He could barely hear what the silver blur was saying.

"Hang in there 'Hide. Medics are on their way now," Megatron whispered.

After serval minutes of watching Ironhide try to stay conscious, the medic came in. Breakdown and Knock Out were at Ironhide's side, gently pushing Megatron to the side.

"His spark is weak and he's losing a lot of energon," Breakdown reported.

"Get me three pints of energon hooked up now. It should be enough for us to get him to the hospital for emergency surgery. Get me a stretcher over here. We have to take him in now," said Knock Out. "Breakdown, press down here. It should help stabilize the bleeding. Megatron, do you know what happened?"

"No I don't. I just came to check up on him after dropping his kids off at home," said Megatron.

"Guessing by the mess of this place and the damage, someone is trying to kill him," said Knock Out.

"I'll inform Orion on it. We can have Jazz and Prowl come over to help with the investigation," said Megatron.

"Good. I need you to contact Ratchet and inform him of the situation here. But stay with him. He could do something rash and get in our way," said Knock Out, heaving Ironhide up onto the stretcher and rolling him to the medical transport to get him to the hospital. Megatron quickly was questioned by a few officers on what happened. The silver warlord contacted his mate that he was staying at Ratchet's for the night and would be home as soon as he knew what was going on.

"Megatron what happened?" asked Ratchet. "I got your message."

"Ironhide was attacked. Don't worry he's in good hands right now," said Megatron. "I'm going to stay with you until Ironhide is stable."

"Do we know how did it?" asked Ratchet.

"Sadly no we don't. I just arrived to his office after dropping off the triplets to check up on him. I found him in time. The marks looked fresh. He should be fine," said Megatron. "I have already informed Orion of the situation. We'll get to the bottom of this. I promise."

Ratchet slumped forward in his seat. He put is face in his servos. He just started to cry. Megatron comforted his carrier-in-law the best he could. This mystery was going to be solved, if it was the last thing he did.
